Tired of the same old fighting games out now? If the answer to that question is "yes," then Devolver Digital and SloClap has you covered with "Absolver" — a melee combat game with "deep" fighting mechanics and online combat. It’s not your usual fighting game that’s for sure. In the press release sent out, SloClap details how the Absolver multiplayer experience will be different from your regularl combat game.
The core of Absolver’s gameplay is its deep fighting mechanics and online combat. Prospects will enter the plains of Adal alone and encounter both AI-controlled opponents and live players through Absolver’s shared online experience structure. Players will roam the world as their own independent ‘server’ as the game seamlessly introduces other Prospects into their game experience.
Once players encounter one another they will have a choice to engage in friendly sparring, more aggressive PvP combat, or cooperative PvE play with up to three players at once. Through online cooperative play each Prospect will be able to learn new moves from one another, progress on their path to Absolution, and gain experience points that can be spent on one of six attributes to improve their skills.
bsolver also features a fighting school mechanic, where advanced players can create their own combat school that other players may join if they so wish. Regarding post-launch content, SloClap plans to have something for gamers 4-8 weeks after the initial launch. According to SloClap, new modes Combat Styles and moves for players’ Combat Decks are just some of the stuff planned post-launch.
